Some updates in Parted Magic 3.1 RC1 compared with Parted Magic 3.0.
If you set the keymap command to set your keyboard layout (Press TAB at the bootmenu), it should work now.
http://partedmagic.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=213If it doesn't work look at the link above and test which keyboard layout works for you:
e.g.: for the me this is:

Code:

setxkbmap be

Post the information here for your keyboard layout so I can pass it to the Parted Magic forum or post it there yourself.
Currently only 2 keyboard layouts are supported (be and se).

Maybe the following thing can be interesting for users with a low amount of RAM (less than 350MiB) to run Parted Magic. I don't have downloaded it yet, but I suspect that there won't be 7z archives that have to be decompressed to RAM so that you need 160MB (parted magic default files) + 53MB (antivirus stuff) = 213MB less RAM to run Parted Magic than the other versions (not downloaded yet, so I can be wrong).

I've worked pretty hard on this and I hope it works, but at this point I'm sure it has problems.

2) Set-up GRUB or LiLo using the correct "kernel" and "append" syntax found in boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf

This is for testing. Please don't use this for production purposes, yet.

The small initrd is needed to "find" the partition with the installed Parted Magic. Device numbers change from system to system and this eliminates the need to keep changing the device number in the extlinux.conf. So, in theory it should boot from a USB flash without the device numbers confusing the boot loader or computer device configuration.

This does in fact run like any other distro that boots from a hard disk install. Everything you do is saved and everything you break will be there the next boot.

I have convinced Patrick Verner (Parted Magic) to include an isolinux option (I did have to write it myself ) which makes it possible to use the same entries for booting from a cd or from usb so that we need only one entry for Parted Magic in main.cfg.
